Venus is the only planet that is Asubha, while the Sun and Mars are highly auspicious.
Re: Vrischika Lagna: Though Mars owns the Lagna he is inauspicious as he owns the 6th. Cf. Chart 80, p. 162.
Sloka 95: The combination of the Sun and Mercury will cause good Yoga. Mercury proves a Marka. Venus and the rest are not so. These are the effects for a birth when Dhanus is the Lagna.
Mars, Jupiter and the Moon are Asubhas, while Venus and Mercury are auspicious. Saturn by himself does not kill. Mars and the rest may do so. Venus is the Yogakaraka. These are the effects for people born in the Makara Lagna.
Re: Dhanus: Venus is an Asubha as he owns the 6th. The Sun and Mercury are the lords of the 9th and 10th and produce Rajayoga when they conjoin together. Mercury owns two Kendra houses and is also a Makara as he is the lord of the 7th.
Re: Makara: Jupiter is an Asubha as he owns the 12th, and also because, Makara is his Neecha Rasi. Saturn though owning the 2nd is not a Maraka as he is the lord of the Lagna.
Sloka 96: Jupiter, the Moon and Mars are Asubhas. Venus is auspicious. The combination of Mercury and Mars is productive of good yoga. Jupiter does not kill. Mars, the Sun and the rest prove Marakas. These are the effects for people born in the Kumbha Lagna.
Saturn and Venus, otherwise known as Kavi, are Subhas. Mars and the Moon are inauspicious. The conjunction of Jupier and Mars causes Rajayoga. Mercury kills, while Mars does not. Saturn and the rest, if they prove Marakas, cause death.
Re : Kumbha: It may here be noted that Jupiter, though he owns the 2nd and 11th is considered as inauspicious for this Lagna unlike Mercury who is classified as a Subha when playing a similar role in the case of Simha Lagna (Sloka 92 above). Probably, this may be due to the fact that the relationship between the Sun and Mercury is closer and more intimate than that between Saturn and Jupiter.
Re : Meena: Saturn, though owning the 12th, is considered as a Subha. Venus is a Subha in spite of the fact that he owns the 8th. This is so, because, Meena is his exaltation house.
Mercury is the lord of two Kendras and of a Maraka house. For the Lagnas owned by Jupiter, Mercury invariably proves a Maraka.
Sloka 97: The above are the effects of a birth in the Meena Lagna. The good or the bad effects of any planet are to be guessed through a study of the planets that are conjoined with the planet in question and also of the position occupied by the said planet. Planets when they prove auspicious bestow on the native issues, wife, happiness to father, gain and other auspicious incidents in their Dasas (i.e., in the Dasas of planets pertaining to these Bhavas) and in their Bhuktis or in the Bhuktis of other planets.
Sloka 98: Intelligent and good people, even after having studied this science well, say “Who has understood the science? No one. If there be any, he is the only man, and he keeps it for himself. It has been made known that even asses, dogs and the like are born under similar Yogas, and they also are subject to the effects of these Yogas in the respective Dasas of planets causing these Yogas. These Yogas are also influenced by other forces.”
Sloka 99: If there be any malefics posited in their highest exaltation coupled with their duty as Marakas one need not say the amount of evil caused by them. Saturn brings about a good amount of wealth and prospe¬rity when he is posited in the Lagna identical with Meena, Tula or Dhanus. if, under the above condition, the 7th Kendra be not occupied or aspected by Jupiter or Mercury, the native will become a king. Death should be predicted in the Dasa and Bhukti of the lord of the 7th house.
Saturn is declared to be capable of conferring royalty on the native when he is posited in Tula, Dhanus or Meena identical with the Lagna.
Sloka 100: If Jupiter be posited in the 7th from the Lagna, and Venus in the 7th from Jupiter; or if Jupiter were to occupy the 8th house reckoned from the lord of the 8th and also be in the 12th from a malefic, the person concerned will live only for 30 years. If Saturn were to occupy the 8th house counted from the lord of the 9th and. be also posited in an odd Navamsa, the native’s pros¬perity will not be continuous. If the same planet be ¬similarly situated with respect to the lord of the 4th, the native will be deprived of his vehicles.
Sloka 101: If the Moon be conjoined with Venus, and the lord of the house occupied by the two planets be in a Kendra or a Kana, the native will, throughout his career, command good vehicles and be endowed with prosperity. If the lord of the 8th house reckoned from the 3rd be posited in the 3rd, 6th, 7th, the 11th or the¬ 1st something untoward to his brothers should be expected. If the 8th house be occupied by a planet in debilitation, and the lord……..
The reading is hopelessly corrupt. The translation could not therefore be completed.
Sloka 102: If the lord of the 8th house reckoned from the 9th be aspected by the Moon, the native will be ¬short – lived. If Venus, be conjoined with Rahu, there will be decline in the native’s prosperity in the period beginning with Ketu’s. If Venus were to be posited in the 6th or the 8th in conjunction with Ulka and other comet, decrease in the longevity is indicated.
Ulka is a comet supposed to be very harmful and his place in the zodiac is in the 10th (5th) asterism from the one -occupied by the Sun.
Sloka103: Wisemen say that the life of a person will be reduced when the lords of the Chara, Stthira and Ubhaya signs are posited in Chara, Stthira and Ubhaya Rasis respectively. The life will be medium when the lords of the above-said signs occupy Stthira, Ubhaya and Chara Rasis respectively. The person will be long-lived when the said lords occupy Ubhaya, Chara and Stthira signs respectively.
Mars occupying a sign of Venus or vice versa ushers a Kulata into the world.
The translation given for the first half of the Sloka is only tentative. A line is missing in the sloka.
Sloka 104: A child Darn in any of the three week-days – Sunday, Tuesday and Saturday synchronizing with any of the three Tithis – Dwiteeya, Dwadasee and, Saptamee, and any of the stars other than Chittra, will have to be declared as a result of the mother’s congress with a person other than the lawful husband.
The sloka is not complete. Two lines are wanting.
For the idea given above, compare the following from Jatak – Parijat
Sloka 105: If malefics occupy the 4th and 8th houses, and Venus, identical with the lord of the 7th, be posited betwixt malefics and be bereft of any benefic aspect in the nativities of a couple born in the bright half of a month, the Yoga is termed Vahninipata – a cruel Yoga),
This sloka of a different metre in this place appears to be not a genuine one.
